Grant, who is a modern master of the crime comic, has injected supernatural elements into the storyline of Mortal Souls, whose protagonist, police detective Eric Sharpe discovers that not only are there spirits who outlive their bodies (ghosts), but also bodies, which continue without souls (Qelipoth). These soulless husks of human beings are quite naturally sociopathic, and Sharpe, thanks to his ability to recognize them (“the sight”), quickly becomes the enemy of a ubiquitous horde of soulless evildoers.
